Each week I have 5 or 6 old cubies leftover from the weeks collection. I dont want to dump them in my trash can or back in the resturants dumpster. Most have some food chunks and a little oil in them so they are kinda nasty.The recycling center will take them if I wash them out but that takes more time and when it is cold... I just wanted to know if anyone had any good ideas of what to do with them since I have more and more each week! Thanks Thomas

1) Fill them with water and tie a string to the handle, place them around your yard and when you want to give your cat some air, tie him to one as a cat anchor, next time use a different one so he does not get tired of the same view.
2) Fill them with sand and build a breakwater for the next Tsunami.
3) Cut them in half, use the bottoms as bowls and the tops as funnels.
4) Use them to store your used motor oil, then put them on the door step of my shop (like every ass in my area does).
5) Take the top off and invert them over a drain pan for a day, when you have a bunch, rinse with hot water and soap (fill a 5 gallon bucket with soap and water and just rinse them in this). Replace the top but leave it a little loose and step on the side to crush it flat, then tighten the cap. Now you have a recyclable, flat cubie and you could probably put 200 in your recycle bin.
